    Victor Brito (Speaker)

    Victor Brito started at Manhattan Legal Services as a Paralegal in the Housing Unit working on investigating, preparing and filing claims for tenants of Pinnacle Group who had been subjected to rent overcharges and harassment as part of an administrative process for adjudication of a federal class action lawsuit settlement overseen. Victor Brito is currently the Paralegal in our Unemployment Unit and prevails in cases where the employer was represented by an attorney and has won seemingly impossible hearings. His successful advocacy has provided hundreds of thousands of dollars of critically needed benefits to our clients. Mr. Brito is also an active member of the Unemployment Insurance Coalition and presented information for the critical need for court certified interpreters at UI hearings so that they received proper interpretation in order to protect their rights. As a result, the Department of Labor was told to investigate how interpretation is provided at hearings and make certain, among other things that the ALJs were complying with good LEP practices.
